 FINED FOR BEATING WOMAN.

 THAT WHIPPING CASE AGAIN.
 The Megs- Mitchell case is still before the public. Last summer MT. Robert S. Mitchell of Portland horsewhipping Mrs Meigs of that town, She then instituted civil suit for damages and the Superior court awarded her 500 and ordered him 10 also pay costs of court. Mitchell declared that the man so annoyed him by her sharp words that ne pay tEe damages awarded by the court. Conse- quently he was lodged in Middletown jail by dep- mission to take the poor debtors oath and after an examination he was allowed to take it. But counsel for Mrs Meigs immediately gave notice that he should ask judge of the supe rior court to review the proceedings and Judge Phelps has granted the motion for review and has fixed December 3I as the date when he will consider the matter. Mrs. Meigs pays the prisoners board while he is in jail at the rate of S225 per week. He cannot get out before the last day of this month, although he might visit any part of the city if he would pay his own board. Although nominally in ja he is really treated guest of the jailer who allows him the best bedroom and treats hum in all respects a member of his family. Friends of the prisoner send him flowers and all the decacies of the season. As his regular employment in Portland would not yield him much revenue at this time of the year. it is not probable that his Imprisonment causes him serious loss or inconvenience.
